Finally got my first 'big' score, was watching ebay and a lot of 6 classic macs come up, put in a offer of £60 and was amazed it was excepted!

Picked it up today and here's what i got:

LC (Needs recapping...)

Performa 450 (works just fine)

Performa 630 (works perfectley, and it's Boxed with all it's original packaging, software, keyboard and mouse!)

Performa 6200 (works but no HDD, booted of the 8.1 disk tools floppy just fine, Boxed with original software, keyboard and mouse, missing some packing)

2X powermac G3 beige (one boots fine, but it boots as soon as power is connected (caps?) the other is heavily upgraded (500mhz G4, 512mb ram, 80GB hdd, firewire, usb and a wifi card) but the HDD is dead and it is missing some parts)

and with it i also got:

boxed copy of macwrite 4.6

boxed copy of hypercard (manual is still in it's sealed wrapping)

some assorted floppys and cd's i need to look through

Syquest EZ drive, with a few of it's 135mb carts, two sealed

2.1Gb ext HDD

a zip 100 drive (not mac, seems it is the parallel version)

a stylewriter 1200

apple PCI DOS compatibility card (always wanted one of these! seems my 8600 is the only mac i have this will work in)

a PCI Video card (vertex twin turbo 128mb, i know nothing about this card, googleing it just brings up ebay us listings for this card @ $100 - $130 each!)

and a card which appears to be a PCI modem card

2X ADB keyboard and 2X ADB mice

And in the way of displays i got:

two boxed apple mutiple scan 15 displays

one apple performa pro display

and the obligatory bag of cables, mostly scsi and power, a couple of serial cables aswell

All in all, not a bad haul for that price ;)

Yeah, the 630 is kinda why I brought the lot ;) my dad had one back in the day and said it was a brilliant machine so I just had to grab it when I saw one

Great find! Very jealous now :(

Are they ever going to invent a teleportation device??? Might have a chance of actually getting some Mac stuff then...any Mac stuff!

ha, think i found the problem with the G3 that wouldn't turn off, spent some time recapping the board, plugged it in. Bang. got a loud snap from the psu, something in it exploded...

Set the board to use a PC PSU and it seems to be running fine, looked like there where some crusty caps, but the PSU was the main problem
